Easywalker Qtro Plus

DISCONTINUED in 2016
see 6 parent reviews

The Easywalker Qtro, also known as the Qtro Plus after the 2010 facelift, is a four-wheel, all-terrain stroller with a high weight capacity. The chassis is made of toughened aluminum (dural). The air-filled wheels with bearings feature an adjustable suspension system. The shopping basket is spacious and easily accessible, also complemented by various pockets on the back of the seat.

The front-facing seat is spacious enough, even for a bigger child. By releasing the clip and unzipping, the seat can be individually reclined from a slightly angled sitting position to a lie-flat position suitable from birth. To ensure maximum comfort for your newborn, the stroller is compatible with a carrycot or a car seat (with adapters). There is an option to purchase a wide range of related accessories, including a sibling board. The Quatro was also released in special editions Silver and Platinum.

Only for not too difficult terrain

3
  • Manipulation
  • Appearance
  • Spacious bassinet
  • Rattling

The stroller should be used only for not too difficult terrain... Well... I don't want to see what it's gonna do to the baby in actual terrain. On the cobblestones the baby totally "jumps" up and down, and the whole stroller shakes, the levers for folding rattle.

  • Basket
  • Large-ish bassinet
  • The handle can completely loosen when leaning into it
  • Decorative wheel covers widen the wheelbase - and make it hard to get into the old doorways
  • The canopy is bad
  • Despite the springs being loose, it doesn't rock well
  • The seat has more of a semi-recline, which for a curious child who wants to watch, ends up constantly pulling forward
  • The back adjustment is zipped rather than belted

The stroller was recommended to us but was rather disappointing. It is light, easy to fold that is its advantage, it has a spacious and large basket, but... The handle can completely loosen when leaning into it, and you really don't want that when getting off the metro. It has decorative covers on the wheels which widen the wheelbase - and make it hard to get into the older doorways. The canopy is bad, it comes loose and doesn't hold its shape. It also doesn't rock well despite the springs being loose. And the sports seat is rather semi-reclined, which, for a curious child who wants to watch around, turns out to be a thing that constantly makes the child hold on to the belly bar and pull forward. Unfortunately, the back adjustment is zippered rather than belted, which means not as much adjusting to the needs of both you and the child.

  • Lightweight
  • Large bassinet
  • Metal footrest for sports stroller
  • Compact
  • Handle is not sturdy (loosens with more resistance)
  • Very little cushioning and a bit unstable in terrain
  • Impractical basket under the stroller

The stroller was recommended to us as being good for off-road use. But it's not quite true (it's not good for the woods or mountains). I find it quite unstable, it is not cushioned, so my son sometimes flies around in it.

If you want to lift the front wheels, you have to take the handle in that joint. Otherwise the handle will feel like being torn off and will get to the lowest position.

I find the basket under the stroller quite impractical. You can't even put a loaf of bread in there.

The big plus is that the bassinet is really big. And the pushchair is also great in that it has a metal foot rest.

It's very light and it's also compact. It also fits in a really small car trunk (frame).

I loved the large wheels and the quality frame. Also used the spacious bassinet a lot - about 8 months. I missed an adjustable leg rest, though. And the basket is not the most accessible when the child is sleeping in the pushchair. Overall, a good value for money (p.s. we bought it second-hand).

The suspension disappointed

2
  • sturdy
  • large inflatable wheels
  • not the most modern design
  • missing suspension
  • missing a reversible seat
  • price

I was sold this based on the seller claiming an all-terrain ride. The suspension disappointed, though - it looks like it should be there but isn't much. The kid was shaken on dirt roads or gravel. I also missed a reversible seat and a longer canopy when the seat was reclined.

Spacious, yet lightweight pushchair

4
  • Lightweight
  • Spacious
  • Handles the terrain and the city
  • Folds easily
  • Not very good quality mattress in the cot (dent where the baby's head is)
  • Cannot be put on rear-facing

We have been using the stroller for over a year now, it meets all our expectations, we have not found any faults with it yet. It is easy to use, perfect for the city and off-road. As the main advantage I see is it being a spacious, yet lightweight pushchair.
